Versailles

After a late start (because it’s hard to wake up sometimes), we staggered onto the RER for the short trip to Versailles.
That’s a big house.
For one guy and all of his support staff and his concubines. And his wife too I think.
It’s very impressive. I liked the Opera House and the reception rooms. Wasn’t too crazy about the bedrooms, though they were impressive. Do the guided tour. You’ll see much more than the unguided tour and it’ll be explained to you. Get a combined ticket so you’ll have access to the gardens and the grand canal. Wah! I’d guess that the entire complex is as big as the Richmond District back home.
The Hall of Mirrors, where the peace treaty that ended WWI was signed was being refurbished. It’ll take several years to do, but imagine the history in this room. Most of the problems we face today in the world stem from what was done in this very room.
Makes ya think, huh?
